can another billionaire die i'm tired of hearing about these two movies
.
i’m blocked by op (who i’ve never interacted w lol. just another thin-skinned westerner i suppose), but elon sounds like he still wants 2 try n replicate china’s wechat system. wc is way mor efficient than paypal. if he somehow manages 2 make half the world cashless like china by using wechat as a model then… : )
Also I think it's awesome Oppenheimer (the movie) made such a strong connection between Oppenheimer being Jewish and deciding to make an atomic bomb. I'm sure that won't lead to any insane discourse or antisemitic conspiracy theory bullshit in the coming weeks.
If I see one more person in my notes calling Oppenheimer a "Jewish anti-fascist used by the US government" or whatever I'm going to scream. No I'm not Jewish but I'm not getting bogged down in standpoint epistemology over this: there's no fucking excuse good enough for being the guy who built a doomsday machine for the most bloodthirsty country on earth, *even after the Nazis had been defeated*. If he didn't want that to be his legacy he could have backed out of the Manhattan Project once Germany was defeated, which even this dumbass movie makes a point of showing he didn't because he was a cowardly and egotistical piece of shit.

100% for real, this lil fash shithead has no idea, but this is such an absolutely perfect encapsulation of how the squalid institution of hetero marriage under capitalism is. Marx could not have phrased it better himself.
This is what they have in mind as the ideal, as the institution that the state is supposed to revolve around. All the means testing, tax shit, etc etc etc All the medieval fuckery that treats people who aren't married as different from people who aren't. This is what it comes down to.
You get to be a sex slave (because leaving is about to become financially impossible) and you get free food (you shop for, cook, wash dishes, and clean the kitchen), clothes (you do the laundry for the whole family and iron his shirts), lodging (you clean the house), income (an allowance that he decides on), healthcare (he’s not going to let you decide on when to have kids or how many), a car (it’s his so if you escape in it he gets to report it stolen so the police will help find you), and lots of cute clothes (sexy clothes to show you off as a trophy but when other men look too hard at you he’ll call you a boundary less, disrespectful slut). What a deal!
when I was in film school "film bros" were specifically a variety of mediocre man (usually cishet and white) with zero imagination that would just glom onto the most popular "auteur filmmakers" in the US, like Tarantino and the Coen Brothers and even Nolan, and poorly attempt to mimic these guys without any of the skill or craft knowledge to know what it even is that they're truly trying to mimic. I mean, I suppose it's always been a nebulous colloquial term but that's basically how we as people in film always understood it. and seeing it be mutated into a pejorative for anyone with a deeper interest in film beyond trending Hollywood features is actually kind of shit. literally the opposite of what was being criticized.
